Dear Writers,

More meaning comes through our tone of voice and body language than the words from our mouths. A scowl or a smile tells more than a thousand words. That’s what makes writing so difficult: we can’t put hand gestures, facial expressions, or the timbre of our voice on the page. It’s just the words.

But I believe there are things we can only say through writing. And writing allows us the time and space to think about what’s really important.

Great writers have great power: not just the means to influence people, but the ability to explore the ideas that soak into every part of the world.

Sincerely,

Mr. Heimbuck
